FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Speed Adjust waistbelt?
The Speed Adjust waistbelt allows for very quick and easy tightening and loosening, saving time and hassle, especially when transitioning between climbs or when conditions change.
How do I adjust the leg loops?
The leg loops use the TrakFIT system. You can loosen the buckle on each leg loop, slide the loop to your preferred size, and then re-tighten the buckle for a secure fit.
Is this harness suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Black Diamond Momentum harness is well-suited for beginners due to its comfort, ease of adjustment, and all-round performance capabilities.
How much does the harness weigh?
The harness weighs approximately 350g.
Can I use this harness for ice climbing?
While the harness is versatile, it is primarily designed for rock climbing. For ice climbing, specialized harnesses with more gear loops and potentially different leg loop configurations might be preferred.
How should I clean my harness?
You should hand wash the harness with cold water and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
What is the Dual Core Construction?
Dual Core Construction refers to the way the waistbelt is built, creating a bullhorn shape that provides enhanced comfort and support by distributing pressure evenly.
Troubleshooting
Waistbelt not tightening securely
Ensure the webbing is correctly threaded through the Speed Adjust buckle. Check for any obstructions or damage to the buckle mechanism. Re-thread and pull firmly.
Leg loops feel too loose or too tight
Use the TrakFIT adjustment system to fine-tune the leg loop circumference. Ensure the buckle is fully secured after adjustment. The leg loops should be snug but not constricting.
Gear loops feel stiff or difficult to use
The pressure-molded gear loops are designed to be rigid for easy gear attachment. If they feel excessively stiff, try using them a few more times with gear. Avoid overstuffing them, which can stress the loops.
Harness feels uncomfortable during prolonged use
Ensure all adjustments (waistbelt and leg loops) are properly set for your body. Double-check the rear elastic riser for comfort. The Dual Core Construction aims for comfort, but individual fit is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the harness and identify the waistbelt and leg loops.
- For first-time use, adjust the waistbelt using the Speed Adjust buckle. Thread the webbing through the buckle and pull to tighten. The excess webbing can be secured.
